Even most of the luxury versions of these vehicles struggled in July. The Cadillac Escalade tumbled 32%; Escalade ESV sales slid 12%. The Lincoln Navigator, while up 24%, was at an 11-month low.
Granted, the summer of 2014 was a particularly strong period for these vehicles, as many were newly launched. In comparison with July 2013, rather than July 2014, sales last month were still down, falling 4.5%.
